The CLAM SHACK DEEP VI Model #2307
with deluxe wiring
DEEP VI - How low can you go?
The Clam Shack Deep VI takes the clammin' lifestyle down, down, down to the octaves below! Featuring a 30" scale, the Deep VI is tuned like a guitar, only an octive lower. Strung up with 20 to 90 gauge strings, the Deep VI serves up the usual Clam Shack goodness, but with a gravitas that only comes from speaking with a low voice.
Deluxe wiring?!? What does that mean?
The deluxe wiring package gives you greater control of your Clam Shack!
The primary difference to the standard wiring is having independent voice rotary switches for each Off Kiltertron pickup. Other new controls are treble and bass tone controls, a phase switch, a serial/parallel switch, a neck pickup on/off rocker switch, and a single/dual voice rotary switch. This switch allows you to control both OKT voices separately (dual mode) or control both with the main voice rotary (neck pickup rotary).
Deluxe wiring is a $150 upgrade to any Clam Shack guitar, including the Deep VI six string bass!

So how does this work?
The magic is in the OKT rotary, which allows you to quickly switch between the three single coil and three humbucking voices. The tone control has a push/pull switch to engage the neck pickup, allowing you to have the neck and bridge pickups on together. Volume control has a treble bleed so the high end frequencies aren't lost as you lower the volume. Pretty cool, eh?
